What was an uneventful Friday of music releases may of just been the calm before the storm. Saturday seen the biggest artist in the world drop his response to "Like That" when "Drop And Gimme 50" made its way to the public. I give my take on the record and breakdown the meaning behind the bars. While Drake chose to address the field many by name only one took it upon themselves to fire back. Rick Ross responded with "Champagne Moments" just two hours later followed by a numbers of social media posts

Might Compete Later

2024/04/09

Timing is everything, had I did this show Friday the narrative would have been much different. However following the events that took place after the surprise release of J. Cole’s mixtape “Might Delete Later” we are left with wondering why he entered his hat in the race at all. The talk of Thursday night heading into Friday was the response titled “7 Minute Drill”. Maybe that was how long it took Cole to regret his move as just a couple days later he took the stage at his “Dreamville Festival”

Some people can't get out of their way. That seems to be the case for Draymond Green. In a recent road game in Orlando Draymond was assessed two technical fouls in the first 4 minutes of the game resulting in another ejection leaving his team in peril. While he seems to think it's no big deal the instant reaction of Steph Curry as well as post-game responses from him and head coach Steve Kerr say otherwise. I give my opinion on what this could mean for an already difficult season for the Warriors
